It seems like we just posted the Half Year Highlights Blog and here we are doing our year in review! We hope that you had a great 2014 and would like to thank all of you for making our year at WPRP awesome!

WPRP had some fun Team Building in 2014, but possibly the most impactful event for the team was in September, by way of the Tricky Triangle at Pocono Raceway. The Team learned first hand how the concept of speed ties into your Quick Ship!

2014 brought the opportunity for many face to face meetings. WPRP was able to meet with Pat Conflitti of Upright Material Handling, Steve Bixler of Indoff, the folks at Tri State Surplus and Bill Benezar from Toyota Equipment, just to name a few! In late September, Josh and Linda met with Bruce Dennis from BA Sales and Supply and Mark Veacock from Modern Group.

WPRP took part in charitable events all through the year, such as Zumba for Red, Zumba for Make a Wish and The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. In October, the East Coast Team participated in The Scarecrow 5k Run/Walk benefitting Alex’s Lemonade Stand.

2014 brought a lot of news to celebrate! Stephanie Thompson joined The East Coast Team as Marketing Intern, WPRP launched a redesigned website and we celebrated a year’s worth of Fries Videos. More news worth celebrating is the feature of East Coast Team members Linda Anlauf and Jackie Marchisin in Material Handling Wholesaler’s October edition “Annual Salute to Women in the Material Handling Industry” and a new look to the Would You Like Fries With That video series.

Quite possibly the biggest news for WPRP in the second half of 2104 was the launch of our Pallet Rack Quick Ship location in Elgin, IL. We are excited to have three Quick Ship locations to serve our customers!
